Liberalism, is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality. The former principle is stressed in classical liberalism while the latter is more evident in social liberalism.

Yup. Not a liberal, but I can appreciate the checks and balances the two sides of the coin offer. Having blatantly corrupt people associated with your side will tear it apart, resulting in an unchecked conservative side. I'm glad we got an outsider who will hopefully clean house. It would be nice to see your side do the same.
